Cascading

Another way of adding capacity to your installation is to cascade additional KVM switches from the B060- 032’s CPU ports. Up to 32 additional KVM switches can be cascaded. Cascading does not increase the number of consoles that can be used to control the computers (unlike daisychaining).

Note: 1. While you can daisy chain B060-032s, you cannot cascade them.

2. Switches cannot be cascaded beyond the second stage.

In a cascaded installation, the B060-032 is considered the First Stage unit; cascaded KVM switches are considered Second Stage units. The B060-032 supports two types of cascade: 1) Protocol Interface Cascading (see the installation diagram under Protocol Interface Cascading section), and 2) Physical Interface Cascading (see the installation diagram under Physical Interface Cascading section).
